A new idea for the Super Stock GT Class
 
Ok here goes

I have purposed to NHRA that in the Super Stock GT classes a new Option .

Allow any Foreign Body Such as Toyota, Nissan etc be allowed to run in The GT class with any Motor Combination .

All the rules are still the same .

Then I guess I could put a SBC combo into the new Mustang? Sweet, now the the transformation into a bracket class will be complete. BTW Don, you were just kidding?

How's about a BBC in an old Amphicar?Or one of the retro Citreon C2V tin boxes?Or a small block in a Messershmitt 3 wheeler?Or how about this, an all alum. 500" Indy block and Indy head AMC in Jack's GTO. Nah,waste of a good engine combo.

Since the GT cars have shipping weight as a function of classification, you'd have to have the shipping weight of all the foreign cars involved.

Getting the shipping weight on q 1976 Datsun 260Z might be a problem...... or the shipping weights of any and all of the foreign cars that could participate.

NHRA is not the most pro-active information gatherer out there, as you may have noticed.

Other than that, I can't see what difference it would make as to the country of origin as long as it has an American engine.

I'll add my change. Keep the motor/body from same corporation but drop the V8 requirement. Hmmm Mustang turbo motor in a 2000 lb Pinto. I'd go for that.
